associations fer the purpose of raising funds
to bulid the monument IN question. We are
glad Judge Minor has consented to serve the
association in this capacity. His extensive
acquaintance throug bout northeast Missouri

man whose memory is sought to be honored
no less than his own known prObity and up.

the duties he has assumed. Whatever ma,
be said # the lost cause, whether it was al
right or all wrong, there is no brave man, b'

not admire the courage and character O
Sterling Price. and who will not be glad t.
